Try a dog. My dog loves to chase squirrels and he never hurts them, but he keeps them out of my garden.I rent a house surrounded by black walnut trees, and the house is infested with squirrels, Im going insane!?
Get a cat. Our cat loves squirrels. She chases them right up the tree.

  • Peaches being stolen from our trees by squirrels. any suggestions?

    we don't mind sharing. but would like to have a few for ourselves.Peaches being stolen from our trees by squirrels. any suggestions?
    I put bird netting around my peach tree and it kept the pesky squirrels and birds away. The tree is small though. I ordered it (the netting) through a local plant nursery. Peaches being stolen from our trees by squirrels. any suggestions?
    Get a peice of aluminum. You can use an old piece of tin or even the flat kind. Make it so that it's about 2 feet top to bottom and long enough to go around your tree. Simply wrap it around and secure it.








    It will keep the squirrels and everything else out of the tree. Thats what we have to do with produce trees and with the pecan trees! they can't climb the metal so therefor they can't get up! Good luck!

    If the peaches are ripe or close to being rip, pick them now. Else you'll also compete with the birds.








    I have four apple trees,a cherry tree, and white grape vines. I lost the peach tree last year when it fell over during a storm. We fight the birds, the deers, and the squirrels every year for the best choices.

    Do squirrels hurt trees in any way?

    I was doing this thing in science and i was wondering if they do? hiDo squirrels hurt trees in any way?
    They don't do much damage--not enough to kill the tree, anyhow. Squirrels will chew branches and they knock off some loose bark here and there but nothing that will kill a tree.Do squirrels hurt trees in any way?
    Hello, no they do eat the seed of any trees, but in their methods of storing these, they become symbiotic as a planter of trees, in prodigious proportions for re seeding of the forest canopies. They build nest in tree branches, and occasionally will use an existing cavity for their nest. The never make the hole, and insects that harm trees are sometime on the squirrels diet.
    In the spring when trees start budding out, the squirrels eat the plump buds as food. It affects the tree somewhat but does not kill it. They hurt the nut crop by decimating it. My pecan tree makes loads of pecans every year but I never eat any. They will cut them out even before they ripen. For some reason they will plant nuts all over the neighborhood for future generations. So in a sense they help out. I was born in a community called Pecaniere. It was the work of squirrels. There were a forest of pecan trees every where.
    They can strip of quite a surprising amount of bark and if carried to excess this could kill an individual branch but is very unlikely to kill the whole tree.
    no, they do not.

    Squirrels are eating my potted hibiscus trees on my deck - leaves & flowers! What do I do to stop this?

    You need to take action and FAST! Drape a light-weight, fine-mesh tent over your pots--just temporarily. Green camping tents are available at R.E.I. for $12 and can be cut to size. You need to discourage those clever squirrels with negative reinforcement (just like with a dog). You can also try the commercial animal repellent sprays but don't spray it on the hibiscus, itself, because it may brown the leaves. Spray on and around the pots. The product that I have found to have some success with is called Get Away--an animal repellent spray. It's an oil of mustard with extracts of chili and lemon mixed in. It has a very strong, lemony smell that squirrels, dogs and other critters do not like. I think that Lowe's carries it in their garden dept. but it's also available online. See below:Squirrels are eating my potted hibiscus trees on my deck - leaves %26amp; flowers! What do I do to stop this?
    Call your garden center and ask if they have squirrel repellent (it does exist and it is effective). Or make your own. Use spicy peppers and garlic, put em in a spray bottle let it soak for a day and spray the plants (in the evening) it won't harm the plants but the squirrels don't like it.

    I had the same problem! I put peanuts out for them and that didn't work! I sprinkled garlic and onions everywhere. I had got these ideas from a garden site. Anyway, what ended up working for me was human hair. I was hesitant about trying it, but I was tired of the squirrels. When I went and got my hair cut I asked my hairdresser for a bag of hair that had been sweep up. still not wanting to, I put on gloves and put hair in the soil around my plants. I saw that hair had been pulled up once, but never saw the squirrels again!
    Get a dog.
    buy a shut gun;not joking.that is how i got rid of a rabbit that was eating my vegetables
    just buy a bebe gun and just shoot at them it will work

    Why do you disbelieve that God is a squirrel when squirrels are all around you? On the grass and in the trees?

    because the rabbit told me otherwiseWhy do you disbelieve that God is a squirrel when squirrels are all around you? On the grass and in the trees?
    I don't disbelieve it. Have a nut?Why do you disbelieve that God is a squirrel when squirrels are all around you? On the grass and in the trees?
    He is, in all the good things a squirrel posseses. He is as much squirrel as anything else, but likening him to anything in his creation is silly.
    I think you must be right, God =squirrels and squirrels = God.
    you know you could be on to something there
    because there are no squirells in other parts of the world, like yugoslavia, austrailia, louxembourg, and the north pole
    Does that make me evil for prefering the Red ones?
    Why do you ask such a foolish question.
    Because they are all nuts.
    I saw squirrels steal a pizza, and I know for a fact that God wouldn't steal a pizza.





    He'd just vaporize a city with a comet or something. Grand Theft Pizza is beneath Him.
    That does it, I'm sold!
    and squashed all over the highways. I wish you guys would stop running in front of cars.
    squirrels just run around and eat acorns and die and they're just annoying, they don't do anything for us
    That's what my buddy Rocky tells me all the time. And he says Boris %26amp; Natasha are the devil.


    - Bullwinkle
    only because the one at work that runs up to me at the same time every day is very docile
    That would explain why they are always running out in front of my truck!





    Now I have proof that god is trying to make me wreck!
    On the grass... in the trees... drying in the sun on the side of the road...





    Squirrels risk their lives for us all the time; haven't you ever seen one go out on a limb for you??





    :-%26gt;
    How could a squirrel let all the poor chipmunks starve in Africa?!





    And how could Squirrel's followers stone his only begotten son with acorns?!?
    Squirrels Rule in... Over the Hedge.

    If a tree falls in the woods, and there's no one there to hear it, do the squirrels freak out?

    No.... They call The Department of Squirrell Housing and Squirrell Development to come asssess the damage then they get a Habitat for Squirrellanity team to come in and with a generous donation from the local Squirrell depot, they put up a better and bigger tree for tomorrow....If a tree falls in the woods, and there's no one there to hear it, do the squirrels freak out?
    only the weak onesIf a tree falls in the woods, and there's no one there to hear it, do the squirrels freak out?
    sure
    When do squirrels not freak out?
    Have to be there to check it out but then I'd be there to hear it. You're giving me a headache. I'm going to bed . Thank you for nothing..............
    HECK YES, tha squirrels r in tha tree
    if there's no one there to hear it..... how would anyone know?
    Wouldn't you freak out if your nuts got bashed?
    :)))) i like your question....i'm sure they have squirrel shrinks....and i bet they make a fortune....but i'm pretty sorry for the ones living in that tree...or maybe they freak cause the tree falls because of the squirrel mafia...
    hell yeah they do and they get f'ing pissed cause they have to gather up their nuts again in more ways than one!! ;-)
    No, because the squirrels aren't there to hear it so how would they even know it fell?

    What trees in the Coniferous forest have nuts that squirrels can eat?

    The seeds are frequently referred to as nuts despite not actually being nuts. I think that the cones that squirrels are willing to chew through to get to the seeds depends on species of tree, how desperate the squirrel is, and type of squirrel. I remember seeing a video about mice which only chew through pine cones if they were taught to do it by other mice. It may be like that with squirrels too. Anyway, the pine nuts that humans choose to eat are likely also the ones that squirrels are most likely to eat.What trees in the Coniferous forest have nuts that squirrels can eat?
    Coniferous trees are gymnosperms that means they produce only seeds and not the nuts. The squirrels feed on the seeds and not on the nuts.What trees in the Coniferous forest have nuts that squirrels can eat?
    Look up nut bearing trees and it should give you all the varieties.
    don't think they have nuts: they do have pine cones and squirrels eat them
